"Talk. They Hear You."

If you don't talk about it, you're still saying something.
Some children may try alcohol as early as 9 years old.
The chance that your child will use alcohol increases as they get older.
When children worry about things like grades, fitting in, and physical appearance, they may use alcohol as a way to escape their problems.
"Talk. They hear you." is a national campaign that was created by SAMHSA, The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration. The campaign aims to engage parents and caregivers of children ages 9 to 15 in the prevention of underage drinking
